Snacks are an essential part of travel. They keep hunger — and impulsive, hanger-driven decisions — at bay, sustaining long days on the road (or on your feet). They also offer a tiny piece of home, whether it’s the familiarity of a pack of peanut M&Ms when you’re in a foreign country or the knowledge that you’ve got your go-to granola handy for breakfast.
With snacks and travel on our mind this month, we reached out to five road warriors, people who are away from home as often as not. They’ve got snacking down to a science — and they’re sharing their tried-and-true tips.
I’ve known Mollie Chen, cofounder and advisor at beauty disruptor Birchbox, since we were assistant editors together at Conde Nast Traveler. And basically every memory of her involves snacks in some shape or form. When I worked through lunch, she delivered sweet treats to my desk; when we rode our bikes through rural Virginia, she was in charge of keeping us fueled with LUNA Bars and Greek yogurt; when we took a trip down to New Orleans, she made sure we figured out a way to pack a muffaletta for the plane ride home.
In short, I can’t think of anyone more qualified to talk about snacks than Mollie. Here are a few of her best tips, as well as her go-to snacks (ice cream — shown, but not mentioned — is a given).
